Tungsten alloy Application-Industrial Radiation Shielding
Nuclear Research
Nuclear research establishments use nuclear reactors or cyclotrons to study or create radioactive materials. Chinatungsten Online’s tungsten alloy is used in research activities as collimators (devices which guide or focus beams of radiation) or containers for radioactive isotopes. Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against both X- and Gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.
Non Destructive Testing
Industrial radiography uses gamma radiation to detect structural faults in materials such as metal and concrete. As with pipe-line inspection, the equipment uses tungsten shielding, which is coupled with a tungsten collimator. Thickness, density and level gauging radioactive sources are used in industrial processes to measure thickness, density or levels of materials during production e.g. paper, plastic film, steel sheet or surface coatings. The material passes between a radioactive source, which is housed in Chinatungsten Online’s tungsten alloy, and a detector. The strength of the detector signal is used to measure the thickness, density or level of the material.
